was finally bought for $7,100. The por 


‘trait of “La Comtesse De Parabeére” o} 


Nattier, was sold for 35,100. There wai

cent pair of Louis Seize candelabra nearly |

ing enamels, lacquers, Chinese snuff boxes, 
Japanese ivory carvings, fans, laces, 
ormulu objects, antique gold and enamel 
watches, snuff boxes and miniatures. 
‘The average of prices was good, but 
individually very uneven as compared 
with the preceding day’s sale, and dealers 
were nothing like so much in_evidence. 
David Warfield and Capt. De Lamar 
were the keenest buyers. Mr. Warfield 
paid $540 for a Louis Seize snuffbox of | 
chased gold and champlevé work and 
$500 for a malachite and ormulu. vase 
clock. of the Empire period, made by 
Thomire, the famous French sculptor, 


doff. His other purchases included a! 
pair of red porphyry jars for $350, a pair. 
of tiger's eye marble vases with handles, 
of gilt. ormulu for $260 and a pair of ame- 
thyst covered urns for $100. Capt. De 
Lamar secured an exquisite filigree gold 
casket set with precious stones, for Shibh 
he paid $625, and a miniature windmill 
mounted in gold and silver, costing $525.) 
A mechanical bird in a chased gold case 
went, to him for $400 after a contest, as 
did the pick of the watches at $260. 

In the ivory group the principal lot: 
consisted of a large ewer and plateau , 
of nineteenth century Flemish work, 
earved with mythological subjects and | 
mounted with silver. For this Cane. De | 
Lamar paid $850 after the most spirited | 
bidding of the afternoon. Of the minia-)

A. COMELY young peasant woman and a, peasant girl, both 


barefoot, have come to a well before a light woodland growth 
to draw water. ‘The elder wears a blue skirt and red kerchief, 
the younger a red skirt and yellow and white kerchief. They 
meet there a bearded man with a gay cockade in his hat, dark 
red breeches, and boots, who pays provocative court to the 
elder, smiling confidently on her. She smiles in some wholly 
unresentful defiance, while the younger sister beams with child- 
ish enjoyment of things partly understood. The budding trees 
tell that it is spring.

and short red jacket, leans his face toward the lady’s as he 
holds her left hand and passes his right behind her neck. Her 
reddish-blond hair is drawn up to the crown of the head and 
adorned with an aigrette and ostrich plumes. The creamy 
fabric of her gown is disposed over the bosom in crossed folds 
and spreads below the waist in foamy luxuriance.

THE figure, nearly to the knees, is shown full face, with the 
right hand planted on the hip and the left held above a dagger, 
which hangs diagonally from the belt. A black velvet cap, 
edged with white fur and embroidered with jewels is worn at 
an angle over the right side of the head. The moustache and 
beard are auburn. A circlet of twisted gold, embellished with 
jewels is looped across the chest, lying over the broad ermine 
lapels of the sleeveless upper garment. Under this is a tightly 
fitting doublet, sewn with white diamond-shaped devices and 
rubies. Over the breast a circular order is suspended from a 
light chain. A ring is worn on the first and fourth finger of 
each hand. 


This picture, which was No. 2 in the Earl of Scarborough’s Sale, 1807, 

resembles in some minor details of dress the central panel of the “Grin- 

ling Gibbons” room at Petworth; but it is regarded by experts as a 

small studio record of the portrait in the Collection of the Earl of 

Rutland at Belvoir Castle, made by the artist for the purpose of replicas 
_ of this subject, which he executed at intervals of several years.

with yellow, and a broad, white collar; the other in grayish- 
brown breeches and red coat—are seated on a long, low bench 
playing cards, using the center of the bench for a table. The

shadow the face of one player, though his expression is care- 
fully worked out in the reflected light from floor and walls, 
and falls full on the face of the other, which is shown in pro-

his next play, while his opponent is studying his hand with a 
puzzled look and does not seem to realize that a card has 
dropped, face up, to the floor. Against the wall vegetables 
are hanging from the ceiling to dry.

over a foamy white skirt, while her hair is embellished with a 
loop of red ribbon and a white plume. A music book lies upon

In a brilliant atmosphere lightly touched by the diffused haze 
of a warm summer day, when the sea is a bright blue and only 
lazily stirred by the gentle airs, a heavy working-boat is shown 
just coming into the picture from the right, only half her length 
appearing. She has dropped sail and practically come to 
a stop, though a slackened fore-staysail has not yet been taken 
in. Against it on her port bow a sailor is indicated, getting 
ready to throw over the anchor into the shallows which reflect 
the cirrus clouds that fill the lower sky. In the foreground at 
the shore line a sturdy boy in brownish-black jacket, his 
maroon breeches rolled above his knees, and still shin-deep 
in the wavelets, comes toward the spectator toting his small 
sister pick-a-pack. His loose brown hair straggles over his 
forehead toward his large, quiet eyes. The little girl, in a pink 
and green frock and bare-footed, her reddish-brown hair pro- 
truding from beneath a white cap, is looking at the spectator 
over his shoulder, her arms clasped under the brother’s chin.

Tuis picture contains an excellent portrait of Monsieur ee 


Gér6ome, and represents him at work on his statue “Tanagra,” 
now in the Luxembourg. His model sits beside him—t is a 
portrait from real life—while he places the finishing touches on 
the marble. There are two statuettes in the scene—one at 
each side of the room—while the picture from which the statue 
of “Pygmalion and Galatea” was suggested (which was form- 
erly in the collection of Mr. Charles T. Yerkes) hangs upon 
the wall. This is the second portrait of himself which the artist 

has painted, and is identical with the first, except as to some of 
the appointments of the studio. The first is the property of his

THE girl’s figure, facing the spectator, is seen as far as the 


elbows, the head being inclined over to the right, toward a 
little white and orange-tawny terrier which she holds with her 
left arm. Her golden chestnut hair waves upon the forehead 
from a center parting and clusters in ringlets over the ears 
and neck. The eyes are blue and the lips ripely red. A silk 
scarf of silvery blue, whitened in the high lights, is wrapt 
around the girl’s right arm. Her softly modeled fingers are 
daintily spread against the body of her pet, whose forepaws 
rest upon her arm, while its face, with pointed ears erect,

APPARENTLY a free and rapid sketch, yet with all the care in 
definition that Harpignies has taken throughout his long life. 
He pictures here a valley, or a small, flat plateau, among high 
hills, which shelter a closely built hamlet, the houses showing the 
varied colors of tiled roofs. The hills are green and partly tree- 
clad. ‘Their tops are blue in the distance under a bright blue 
sky and sunshine. On a rocky ledge of the foreground, in the 
shade of a group of trees, a woman sits overlooking the scene.

A YOUNG peasant woman in a white bonnet, purplish-brown / | 
dress and broad collar, and wearing sabots, her back toward 
the spectator, is seen leading homeward toward the left, late 
in the afternoon, a white cow, of peculiar coloring, which is 
the main purpose of the painter’s study. The cow stands 
almost athwart the vision, at the end of a path which here 
merges into a field of coarse grass. Her body is white, with 
here and there a faint reddish tinge, her face and neck tawny, 
the throat white. The play of light and shadow and the re- 
flections from path and grass on the white coat of the cow 
give some curious color values which the artist has had pleasure 
in working out. Leaning her head down, the cow looks, as still 
hungry, toward a patch of grass of a light, fresh green, near 
the base of two slender trees which stand at the left. Beyond 
them a long way off a figure in white is seen bent over at work 
in the field. At the right in the middle distance appears the 
roof of a house which is lost to view below a sheltering hillock. 
In a dull, grayish-blue sky are a few lighter clouds tinged 
with pink.

form the entrance to an illumined thicket. In the center of 
the foreground a helmeted soldier, carrying a gun or pole over 
his shoulder and a sword at his side, has stepped before a man — 
who sits by the wayside with a bandage on his head, his bare 
limbs partly covered with a blue drapery. The coarse grass

A CHARMING picture in subject, color and detail. The young” 
Dutch woman, her flaxen hair just tinged with a warming red, 
is seen in three-quarters length, standing beside a table on 
whose red coverlet she poises the finger tips of her right hand. 
She is turned slightly to the spectator’s left, but is seen in 
almost full face. Her handsome features wear a gentle and 
affable smile and she looks a very human young woman, 
indeed, as fresh as of to-day. She might be called the Lady of 
the Pearls. Pearls bind her hair, encircle her delicate neck, 
drop from petted ears and adorn her wrists, and a rope of 
them winds from a large, pear-shaped pearl pendant on her 
breast around her lace-covered shoulders. The fair face and 
abundant hair are framed by the high outstanding ruff of the 
period, and her black brocaded gown is gorgeously enriched 
with gold embroidery and brightened by the silk linings of 
slashed sleeves. It is cut slightly low at the neck. Her beauty 
is enhanced by a slight flush suffusing her cheeks, the hands are 
delicately modeled, and she carries a fan.

Tuts young Dutch woman of an earlier feces even in her tight, 
white headdress and stiff, circular ruff, looks as bright and 
fresh and prim and pretty a Dutch girl, as the portraits of the 
present Queen of Holland represented the Queen as looking 
only a few years ago; the hands, however, look like hands that 
had known labor, doubtless the labor of thrifty housewifery for 
which the Netherlands are famous. She is gowned in black, 
with ample skirts and white lace turn-back cuffs. She is seen 
in three-quarters length, standing and turned slightly to the 
left, but facing front, and looking at the spectator with steady 
blue eyes. Her cheeks are pink, her lips full and red. Neutral 
background.

BENEATH a beautiful sky, relieved by spots of blue in the // 
firmament, and by light, transparent, golden clouds near the V 
horizon, a meadow is shown, spreading far in the distance. 
To the left the head and arm of a man is seen near the corner 
wall of a house, which is the only part of the building visible. 
In the man’s hand is a glass filled with wine, and he seems to 
bid “God Speed” to the gentleman on horseback, who is dressed 
in red, and holds his large hat, ornamented with feathers, in 
one hand while he makes a salute with the other. Between 
them and quite near the house, a tree stands out against the 
sky. In the middle distance another horseman, whip in hand, 
arrives in full gallop, and far away, to the right, a village 
steeple looms up. A gray cow lying, and a white one with 
ruddy spots, are the added objects of interest.

THE center of an apartment luxuriantly appointed in rococo 
style is occupied by a grand piano, which is cased in black 
wood, mounted with ormolu ornaments, and has on the interior 


of its open lid a painted landscape. Seated at the keyboard is 


a young lady in a Watteau costume of sapphire-blue silk 
bodice and panniers, over a skirt of ivory silk, damasked with 
pale blue, plum and rose. Her dainty figure is silhouetted 
against a scarlet screen. With an affected gesture of appre- 
ciation a lady stands at the left, her head held up and her body 


~ inclined forward, while her right arm is extended back as she 


holds a cane. Her costume consists of a rosy-pink bodice and 
panniers over a blackish-green skirt that is embellished down 
the front and round the border with a band of brocade and 
lace. ‘The scene is being observed through his eyeglass by a 
gentleman in a green coat, whose figure appears above the 
top of a Boucher chair at the right of the apartment.

EXxEcuTeD in red and black chalk, the nude figure of a woman 
reclines directly across the composition, with the feet to the 

right. The head and shoulders are raised by a pillow and 
supported on the right elbow. The right hand holds a rose, 
while the left lies upon the abdomen. In the background at 
the right are the indications of a satyr’s head. 


As an mscription on the back testifies, the drawing ts from the Col- 
lection of the Duke of Modena and was sold in 1840 as the property 
of Wm. Esdaile, Esq. (banker), of Clapham Common, London. 


Stamped at the lower left, “W. K.”; and marked at the lower right with 
the Duke of Modena’s stamp. 


This drawing is of especial interest as beng the original study for 
the famous “Reclining Venus” in the Uffizzt Gallery, Florence. It is to be 
noted that whereas the figure of Venus is identical in this drawing with 
that of the paintmg, the Satyr who appears in outline pulling from 
around the curtain was omitted in the Uffizzi picture, but appears im the 
Nymph and Satyr by Titian in the Louvre, where the composition is the 
same as in this drawing, but im which the figure of the reclining nymph is 
turned at a different angle.

‘Tuis picture is a portrait of Mademoiselle Hiet with her little 
dog. The face and figure are almost full to the spectator, 
with a slight inclination to the right. The powdered blond 
hair is dressed in natural waves above the young face, which 
has sky-blue eyes, carmine cheeks and bow-curved lips. A toy 
spaniel with orange-tawny ear is seated on the girl’s lap, sil- 
houetted against her bosom, which is revealed by a loosely- 
fitting garment of transparent gauzy material, striped with 

_ white. The sleeve, just below the armpit, is encircled with a 
string of pearls, and a bracelet of three rows of pearls adorns 
the wrist of her right hand, which holds a red apple, and of her 
left, which poises a red rose spray above the dog’s head.

THE LETTER 


ee 
GOWNED in white,’a lady of extreme eerie is standing in 12710 
front of a screen that is decorated with a design of bold zig-zag 
bands in tones of gold and rusty black. Her figure is disposed 
three-quarters to the left, the head turned over the shoulder 
toward the spectator and the left hand resting gracefully at 
the waist, while the right hangs down beside the skirt, holding 
a pale blue letter. Her sash, of an exquisite pinkish-lavender, 
falls in two broad ribbons. ‘The skirt rests in full folds upon 
the floor and spreads over the dark green carpet in a slight 
train. Behind the figure, at the right, stands a flower box in 
which grows a plant with large leaves and a rosy lily-shaped 
blossom.

played upon a white drapery, which is spread over a sapphire-

head droops forward in the abandon of sleep, while the left 
arm parallels the curve of the back, and its hand, resting on 
the couch, turns its palm to the spectator. The head and shoul-

A GOLDEN-HAIRED, light complexioned young woman Appears: 
in head and bust, facing to the right. She is turned three- 
quarters toward the spectator and is looking directly at him 
with a faint, quizzical smile, which has caused the portrait to 
be called “La Joconde.” Her hair, parted in the middle, is 
bound over the crown of her head; otherwise it falls loosely 
over her shoulders, which the low corsage of her rich black 
waist reveals. This is edged with white lace and adorned with 
a jeweled clasp or brooch at the breast. The whole is seen 
against an intense blue background unrelieved, as of a deep 
turquoise sky—effective but quiet.

HE landscape, flat in the foreground and lightened by a shal- 
low stream, rises on each side in hummocks, which are partly 
covered with low growths of bushes and small trees. Their 
details are lost in strong shadows which are emphasized by the 
light reflections on neighboring bald knobs. The sky is heavy 
with clouds that have separated to frame the moon, which is 
well up. The orb is partly screened by the higher clouds, and 
its light is reflected from those forming the lower edge of its 
vaporous frame. A typical painting of the so-called “tonal”

of colors, gathered around a table at the family sewing. En- 
ter an elderly man in a gray coat with purple lining, embroid-

breeches and a similarly elaborate belt, holds half-concealed 
behind his father a many-colored bouquet to present to his

cap, daintily trimmed with peacock-green ribbon and crochet 
lace, while a dove-gray bib-apron is spread over her bodice, 
which is of pale old rose damask decorated with bluish-green 
flower sprays. A small boy with golden brown hair leans over 
the table at her left, looking up into her face, as he rests his 
left hand on her shoulder. At the right of the table a girl is 
seated cutting a vegetable, her back being toward the spec- 
tator, while her rosy face is seen in profile beneath a white 
lace-winged cap. Her trim figure is arrayed in a striking cos- 
tume, presenting broad alternate stripes of blue and _ pale buff. 


The boy in this picture is the son of the artist by his first wife, while 
the girls are the daughters of his second wife, Marguerite Pouget.

a sheet of pale blue water, reflecting the yellow-green foliage 
of some trees on a spit of the right bank and a tower that 
stands on a projection of the opposite shore. The latter curves 
round to a distant prospect of lavender, rosy and bluish hills 
which extends across the horizon. Over the latter at the right 
lies a strip of orange-red vapor, above which float lavender 
volumes of cloud. Sprinkled against them is the orange-tawny 
foliage of a tree which grows beside a ruined circular temple

the limbs and torso. The love god sits on the rim of a fountain 
in a grove, facing the spectator, one leg doubled back under 
him on the stone basin, the other dangling over growing flow- 
ers. His face is shghtly in shadow as the head with its golden 
ringlets is turned to look at a butterfly which with his left hand 
he is about to pluck from his right upper arm. ‘To do so he 
has laid his quiver beside him on the fountain basin.

“Love Overcome” the beautiful nymph, her eyes, red, re- 
aes athwart the canvas against the foot of a tree at the left, 
on her blue mantle, which is visible also over her right shoulder, 
while another end of it is drawn up around her left hip and 
allowed to fall in careless folds between her spread knees. Her 
golden coiffure is in disorder, the remnant of a wreath clings 
to her brow, and with her left hand she seems to be drying tears 
with delicate, gold-bordered linen. The wrapper, held in place 
by the upraised left arm, has slipped from the right shoulder, 
uncovering the delicately modeled breast. Below, a delicate 
limb protrudes from the garment’s lower folds, and beyond it 
is seen Cupid’s filled and useless quiver lying with his bow on 
the dull, green ground. The love god himself, head bowed in 
his hands, nestles against her side, supported by her right arm; 
at his feet flowers cast away. The whole reveals careful draw- 
ing and modeling of the nude, with flesh tints charming in their 
freshness.

Nore—The above and the painting described under No. 78 were painted by Natoire, 
who was a contemporary of Boucher and like him a pupil of Lemoine, for 
the Due de Tallard, who left them to Madame la Marquise de Lassenage, from 
whose heirs they were purchased. They are two of a series of four paintings de- 
scribed as presenting “L’Histoire d’Amour,” one of which is at the present day in 
the Museum of Troyes, France. The series of paintings were exhibited in Paris in 
1736, when the artist was 36 years old and Boucher was 33, the year before Boucher 
received his commission to execute four panels for the Hotel de Soubise, now the 
Archives Nationales, to which the Hotel du Maréchal Tallard, built in 1728, is 
near neighbor. Boucher was incited by the exhibition of Natoire’s work, accord- 
ing to the story, to emulation of his rival and chose for his Soubise panels the 
same subject, placing his own paintings in the room adjoining that in which Natoire 
was then (1737), painting his famous “L’Histoire de Psyché.”

A sanpy road leads almost directly back from the center of 
the foreground, flanked by straight, tall tree-trunks, which at 
the left come down to the front, but at the right begin a little 
farther back. Against a smaller stem on this side a peasant 
girl stands leaning, as she watches a black and white cow 
which is feeding in a patch of sunlight. She is dressed in a 
purple skirt and red body, the latter partly hidden by a white 
tippet. ‘Two logs lie parallel at the left of the roadway with 
their sawn ends facing the front. The sky shows intervals of 
blue amid masses of white cloud.

cut low at the neck, with shoulder sleeves. She is pictured 
standing easily, her left slippered foot a little in advance of 
its mate. She is turned slightly to the left, but faces the 
spectator, at whom she looks squarely. Her dark-brown hair, 
with a suggestion of a part, falls in ringlets over her forehead 
and ears, and she appears to be mildly smiling. Her attitude 
is as though she had just paused in a walk to look at you, her 
conical Empire hat slung by its ribbon between thumb and 
finger at her side, both bare arms hanging straight down. Her 
gown has taken a soft ivory or pearl-white tone. An embroid- 
ered mantle with yellow silk lining is draped from one shoulder, 
and a bouquet of pansies decks the low corsage. She stands 
against a background of tree-grown rocks and deep-blue sky, 
sprinkled with white and rosy clouds along the horizon, above a 
sea which bears ships in the distance. She has a fresh, rosy 
complexion, with large blue eyes and heavy eyebrows, and 
the flesh tones are excellently preserved.

The gown, of greenish-blue satin, is cut low on the shoulders 
and square across the bosom, the edge being embellished with 
scallops, as are also the tabs which hang from the waist. ‘The 
bodice is adorned with six horizontal rows of pearls, while a 
string of pearls and amber hangs from the shoulders and is

Her blond hair is dressed with jewels and she wears heavy 
pearl earrings, a waist of pale flame color and a creamy-white 


skirt, while a white mantle of filmy material is brought round 


her shoulders and caught low in the neck in front with a pink

she almost despaired of her task, while with the right she fingers 


the keys at the word of the master. He leans over her shoul- 
der, looking at the music and listening critically as he empha- 
sizes the count with his right hand. He wears a rich black 
cloak, adorned with abundant lace at collar and wrists. The - 
light comes through a window at the left, from which dark 
red curtains are drawn back, and falls across the instrument 
full upon the young woman, the instructor beyond her being 
partly in shadow. This painting is a replica of that in the

and bears the artist’s signature on a sheet of music which rests 
on the corner of the instrument.

as E. Kirby as auctioneer, was largely -at-, 


the necessarily heterogeneous collection of 
$135,330. The first night’s sale total for 80 
| pictures was $32,510, and the second night’s 
total was, for 78 pictures and the 300, 
sketches by Van Beers, $102,820. Ae 
There were many surprises and not a. 
few bargains in the sale. The prices ruled 
low for the most part, except for the ee 
Americans owned by Mr. Lawson which 
sold well on the whole. 
obtained were for the pictures owned by © 
Mr. Bolton, with a few exceptions by, or at-. 
tributed to, masters of the early French 
school. Mr. Bolton stated in a letter to the 
auctioneer and given by the latter to the. 
press, that his collection had been formed 
by his great Uncle Admiral Gambier of, 
| Buckinghamshire, England, and had been | 
added to by his grandfather and himself, | 
and that the greater number of the paint- _ 
ings were bought previous to 1840, the ma- | 
_ jority of the older ones from Martin Col- 
naghi, London, notably the Titian draw-. 
ing (sold for $325), the Vestier (sold for’ 
$325) and the large canvas, “Portrait of. 
Comtesse de Parabere,” attributed to Nat-. 
tier (sold for $5,100). ae 
-As an evidence of the lottery of a picture’ 
auction, the following prices at the first, 
session of Monday night may be noted: 
“Portrait of Henry VIII,” siven to Hans! 
Holbein the younger (Bolton collection), — 
$450; “Afternoon,” by A. H. Wyant (Amer- | 
ican—from Lawson collection), $825; 
“Chansons d’Amour,” given to Watteau’ 
(Bolton), $525; “Atropos,” given to Greuze 
(Bolton), $65; “St. John with Lamb,” given 
-.to Murillo (Bolton), $160; “Gerome in his. 
Studio,” by Gerome (bought by W. B.| 
Franklin) for $1,175; “Flute Player,” given

respectively, Messrs. Wormser, Stanley, 
Jennings, Glendenning and Phillips. | 
The highest figure of Monday night’s” 
| sale was $3,100, paid by an agent for the. 
| flashy “Portrait of Louis XV in State 
_ Robes,” given to Carle Van Loo, from the 
Bolton collection. A good Bouguereau. 
(Yerkes), “The Little Pouter,” was secured 
by Mr. D. G. Dery for $2,100. The titles 
' and sale figures above given tell the story. 
of the sale to the cognoscenti. There were

Tuesday evening, and again with an audi-| 
/ ence in which were collectors and many 
dealers. Prices with, on the whole, a high- 
| er average of pictures, ruled higher. Again| 
| there were many surprises and some bar-|- 
gains. The fine poetical Cazin, “Moonlight } 
at Midnight” (Yerkes), a far better and| - 
more attractive picture, in the estimation of | 
art lovers present, than the “House at! 
Ecouen,” which brought $25,200 at the pre- 
ceding Plaza sale from Senator Clark, went | 
to an agent for only $8,700, while the large] — 
decorative “Portrait of Comtesse de Pare-|, 
bere,” given to Nattier (Bolton), brought] 
only $5,100 (like Postum, there was a rea-| 
ae The Americans on the whole did| 
well. 

Mr. David Belasco secured several prizes, 
not the least the panels covered with 300 


he captured for $960, or about $3.20 each. 
Mr. Belasco will frame up most of these 
{ charming sketches and pictures, for the 
most part landscapes, and have a fine col- 
lection of typical examples of the Belgian 
painter. Mr. Ederheimer, the dealer, whc 
bought many pictures, is reported to have 
purchased the same for Mr. Bolton. 

The lesson of the sale would appear to 
be that in a mixed collection the necessary 
| admixture of inferior and doubtful pietures, 
will pull down the prices of even some of — s 
the best of their fellows. Paes
